Oops sorry, I created that thread and I hardly check it haha. If someone wants to do the 80s by all means, I think it'll be fun. I tend to overextend myself when it comes to committing to projects so if someone else takes over that's probably a good thing .

[samistake2ice]

i might be interested. what program did you use to compile the data?
